    Freezer Magic: 8 Tips for Freezing Fruits and Veggies

    Did you take advantage of a store special on produce? Or perhaps you harvested a lot of items from your garden? Or did you simply buy too much produce to use in a week?

    Don’t worry, there’s good news about the bounty that is overflowing from your refrigerator and countertops, and the answer lies in your freezer. You can actually freeze a whole bunch of different fruits and vegetables to use later!

    How to Make a Rainbow Salad
     
    Interesting Image
    Goleta School District wanted a sign to jazz up their salad bar, so we did a little research here in the Boulder school district to find out what they are doing. They taped together a sign like a table tent. We set out to design a big table tent that is the length of a salad bar or about 3 feet long. And Goleta School District wanted a rainbow salad.

    3 Facts for Cholesterol Month
    Interesting Image
    September is Cholesterol Month, a perfect time to raise awareness about cholesterol, lifestyle risk factors associated with cholesterol, and ways to reduce the “bad” cholesterol numbers.
     

     
     
     
    Healthy Plate Class
    Jan Treftz-Allen, Health Promotion Manager at Genesis Health, asked us for ideas for a brief 30-minute talk on general nutrition. Judy recommended making a healthy plate - it is a balance diet with all food groups and there is no room for 'errors'.
     
    PLUS we added that she can show large fast food and mall food items like a large pretzel or cinnamon roll or fries - and pour that on a plate because it shows how big and out of proportion these large servings look when you put them on your plate.  You would not serve that much at home. 
     
    Jan liked the idea and will use it coming up.
